Trisha Addicks, sorority recruitment consultant, founder of It's All Greek to Me, and author of The Rush Bible: Secrets to Crush Sorority Recruitment and Find Your Forever Greek Home, joins Kate to examine what television, documentaries, and social media get right and wrong about rush, from MTV's Sorority Life to RushTok to the Max documentary Bama Rush, in which Addicks appeared. Trisha and Kate discuss how much of recruitment is built on authentic connection versus information gathered before a conversation ever happens, along with the role of résumés and social media audits, how to prepare for rush, and why its lessons in networking, first impressions, and resilience extend well beyond college.

Richard Elliott, a deputy manager in residential childcare in England, talks about his mother's childhood inside a Catholic convent and, later, a Catholic laundry in the north of England during the mid-twentieth century. Richard describes his mother's four years of separation from her family and her sisters as a child, her return home, an attack by a boyfriend at fifteen that led to her being sent away a second time, and two years of unpaid labor inside a Catholic laundry with no contact with her family. Richard also discusses discovering the full extent of his mother's story only recently, while interviewing her for a book they wrote together, and how his own work in residential childcare has changed the way he understands her. The conversation closes on Richard's petition calling on the UK government to open a public inquiry into the treatment of children in Catholic institutions in England. Richard and his mother published their book under the pen name M. Duffy. It is titled In My Own Words: Memories of the Catholic Convents and is available on Amazon.

The story of the Kissel brothers, two wealthy siblings murdered on opposite sides of the world within three years of each other. Robert Kissel, a Merrill Lynch executive in Hong Kong, was killed by his wife Nancy in November 2003 in a case that became known internationally as the Milkshake Murder. Less than three years later, his older brother Andrew, a Greenwich, Connecticut real estate developer facing federal fraud charges, was found stabbed to death in his own home. This episode covers both cases in full: the collapse of Robert and Nancy's marriage inside Hong Kong's expatriate finance world, Nancy's two trials and her conviction, overturned conviction, and second conviction, and the murder-for-hire investigation into who killed Andrew, including the eventual pleas, verdicts, and the question of who actually held the knife. The episode closes with where the case stands today and where to watch more, including Dateline NBC, 48 Hours Mystery, American Greed, and the 2008 Lifetime movie The Two Mr. Kissels starring John Stamos.

John Henion, director of Netflix's new documentary Untold: The Testimony of Vince Young, joins the show to unpack the rise and fall of the Texas Longhorns legend, from his childhood in Houston's Hiram Clarke neighborhood, raised by his mother and grandmother while his father was in and out of prison, through his legendary run at Texas under Mack Brown, and into the conflict-riddled NFL career that followed. On January 4th, 2006, Vince Young delivered what's still argued to be the greatest individual performance in college football history, 467 total yards and a game-winning touchdown with 19 seconds left, beating USC to give Texas its first national title in 35 years, and the Rose Bowl made him a legend. What came after became a cautionary tale: a bruising relationship with the Tennessee Titans, a leaked Wonderlic score that followed him for years, a very public mental health scare, and a $26 million bankruptcy. The film culminates in how Vince has worked to become the present, hands-on father he never had.

They discuss Ciara's expensive expectations and habit of stirring the pot, Jack and Faye's chances of making it down the aisle, Ryan's mysterious career and the Reddit rabbit hole surrounding his work, why Yasmin deserves the world, and whether Sophie and Taylor could become one of the franchise's most successful couples.

Alexa Burger is producer of Netflix's three-part documentary series Death of the Pastor's Wife. The series tells the story of Mica Miller, a 30-year-old pastor's wife from South Carolina whose April 2024 death was ruled a suicide. Mica grew up deeply rooted in her faith and met John-Paul “JP” Miller, a pastor sixteen years her senior, when she was 13.

Kyle Bylin was switched at birth with Jeremy Morrison in a small North Dakota hospital, and did not learn the truth until he was 36 years old. The discovery came after a years-long trail of Ancestry DNA matches that did not add up, leading him to Morrison's biological aunt. That connection confirmed it: Bylin and Morrison, the only two babies born at Unity Medical Center in Grafton, North Dakota, on January 26, 1988, had gone home with each other's bracelets. On this Saturday Series episode, Kate Casey talks with Bylin, who was raised in Adams, North Dakota, by Evelyn Newton and Keith Bylin, about meeting his biological parents, Elizabeth O'Toole and Terry Morrison, for the first time as an adult, the unexpected traits and interests he shares with his biological family, and the identity questions the discovery raised after decades of a settled sense of self. He also discusses what it means to now navigate two sets of parents and the loss that comes with each. Bylin and Morrison's families have since filed a lawsuit against the hospital, which denies responsibility and says records from 1988 no longer exist. Bylin works as an assessment and research librarian and hosts the podcast Infinite Stream, about the impact of artificial intelligence on higher education.

Somebody Knows Something is a true crime series that asks whether the internet's obsession with unsolved cases, Reddit threads, true crime social media, armchair detectives, can actually help crack cases that have gone cold. Kara Chamberlain and executive producer Ari Mark join the show to talk about it. Kara, who hosts the series, brings a deeply personal understanding of violent crime to these stories: she's a kidnapping survivor herself. This episode covers the show's first two cases: the disappearance of baby Sabrina Aisenberg, missing from her crib in Valrico, Florida since November 1997, and the disappearance of 16-year-old LaShaya Stine, last seen in Aurora, Colorado in July 2016. Kara and Ari talk about why they chose these two cases, what they uncovered while making the series, and what it means for families who've been asking people to pay attention for years to finally have a platform that might reach the right person. Somebody Knows Something premieres on Freeform and streams the next day on Hulu and Disney+.

Ramiel Petros and Nicholas Freeman join Kate to talk about their documentary The Last Guest of the Holloway Motel, the story of former Norwich City footballer Tony Powell — a 1970s soccer star who vanished from public life for over 40 years and was later found managing a run-down West Hollywood motel.

The book examines Paul Skalnik, a con man and jailhouse informant whose testimony helped convict dozens of people, including James Dailey, a Vietnam veteran sent to death row for a 1985 murder despite the absence of physical evidence against him. Colloff discusses how she found the story, her own experience being deceived by Skalnik during years of reporting, and what his case reveals about the use of jailhouse informants in the American justice system.

Herb Baumeister lived a quiet family life in a nine thousand square foot estate in Westfield, Indiana, while authorities believe he secretly targeted gay men at Indianapolis nightclubs during the 1990s, luring them back to his property where he killed them before dying by suicide in 1996. Director and executive producer Alex Jablonski returns for a second conversation, this time about the follow up to the Emmy nominated docuseries The Fox Hollow Murders: Playground of a Serial Killer. The new special, Return to Fox Hollow: New Victims, Darker Secrets, streams July 8 on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+, and explores efforts to identify additional victims along with emerging questions about potential accomplices, missing evidence, and witness accounts that have shifted over time, including the story of Roger Goodlet, whose disappearance led investigators to Baumeister, and new scrutiny of Thomas Ackerman's connection to the case.
